Off Topic The Burly Arms

I'd rather watch the local village league games rather than do any dyi mate.

I'm a hypocrite of the worst kind!

 

I've got a few jobs need doing mate.

Gimme a call. A fiver an hour?

 

Money isn't the problem or issue mate. Its people that have prevented me making money from building work

I did start it and you get the whole

Customer: we want smaller windows.

Me: oK but your room will be very dark

Customer: its my money and my house I want smaller windows

Me:OK

So I take out old windows, build up the wall and order and fit windows

Customers wife : this is crap, it's too dark in here now

Customer: can you change it all

Me: yes but you will have to pay for the work and windows

Customer: return the windows and get refund

Me: doesn't work like that, windows are made to order and I did tell you

Next day I knock on door to do other works and no answer. I ring no answer and I get a phone call from a bloke who asks me to leave family alone or else. I tell him to **** off so he comes down, sees its me and recognises me, apologises and tells other bloke to sort it himself.

I see customer with his son and grab and say I want my money or am gonna knock **** out of him. He agrees to pay. I get visit from 2 guys he has called, fortunately I know both so they aide with me. Customer gets called to one of the guys house and told to bring money

£4.5 k for all work I had quoted. In the end he paid me and had to get the work down ffrom someone else so probably paid double

I can't do with that headache. It's always the same. Another customer agreed price I do work. Paid in installments with a bulk at the end. I always give a breakdown etc and did all the work. He asked for more work to be done and I said I wouldn't do it straight away as I had another job. He said if you don't do this I won't pay you final sum.

****s

That'll be £185 please, on top of the 4 and a half grand quote.

That's my hourly rate and how long it took to read your last post. Next time book an appointment as well. I don't do last-minute sessions.





I tell you what though. I'll forego the cash if you can sort your windows out without killing anyone.





Good luck mate.

 

Anyone watching the boxing?

 

Taking the family out today for a proper old school roast at a local pub in a little cove near where I live. The food there is incredible, really top quality nosh. Probably have a little walk on the beach afterwards and then hoping to take my little one along to some marshes to watch the Starling's murmurations before sunset.

That should be a nice distraction whilst Arsenal get humped at Man City ....

 

For us neutrals it should be a good game.

I’m gonna miss our game too. Got a lunch to go to.

 

Neutrals

Where are you off for lunch fella ?

 

spaniard had a moment there.

Going to a non-league game then back in time for Chelsea v United. I know which game will be more entertaining.

 

Chelsea VS United will be dreadful.

 

Finished eating. Place down by the beach. We’re a bar watching the game now.

In this game I’m kinda neutral. Obviously, I’m no gooner fan, but equally I’m hoping somebody can take points off City.

 

Lovely up on the moors at this time of year. Didn’t see a soul for 10 miles.

 

Perfect place to dump a body. I wonder why you moved there in the first place?

 

You’d better keep schtum mate, otherwise I’m telling them about what’s under your patio.

 

Keep a close watch over your brother HIAG.

 

PISKIES brother HIAG? I don't have any brothers. PISKIE and HIAG squabble so much if they said they were brothers I wouldn't be surprised.

PISKIE might have brother jealousy as HIAG is a Cambridge graduate, that does the marathon circuit in between gigging round the country.

 

It's just not fair And I'm the one who was blessed with good looks too.

S'pose it goes to prove that ugly people can still make it in life.

 

Fixed.
